BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at the new story arc in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance #5.

Issue #5 features a main cover by illustrator Mona Finden, a variant connecting cover by artists Kelly and Nichole Matthews (R.L. Stine’s Just Beyond), and another variant cover by Christian Ward

In The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance #5 writer Adam Cesare and artist French Carlomagno present the story of fan favorite Hup and brand-new character Barfinnious. Hup is a Podling cook who dreams of being a Paladin. When the chivalrous bard Barfinnious comes to Hup’s village with tales of former glory, Hup leaves his small town to follow him. But the longer they travel, the more Hup begins to doubt that Barfinnious is truly who he says he is. Can he trust the smooth-talking bard to help him realize his dreams or will his future as a noble knight end before it ever really began?
